Vestil Stainless Steel Machinery Safety Guards

Vestil Stainless Steel Machinery Safety Guards for Equipment Protection

Expensive equipment failure is rarely just a repair bill. Impacts from carts, pallet jacks, and forklifts can cause downtime, safety incidents, damaged inventory, and missed production schedules. Machinery safety guards are a simple way to prevent those hits from becoming costly problems. High-profile guards are especially useful where equipment sits near aisles, corners, or staging areas, where traffic is constant and visibility changes throughout a shift.

Built from Type 304 stainless steel with a polished finish, these guards are NSF/ANSI 51-2009 compliant, making them well suited for food processing, pharmaceutical, and other sanitation-sensitive environments where corrosion resistance and washdown durability matter as much as impact protection.

Base plates mount securely to the floor, providing a stable, permanent barrier that absorbs impact before it reaches nearby equipment, racks, or walls, helping facilities avoid the disruption and expense of repeated damage in high-traffic zones.

Models and Specifications:

♦ HPRO-SS-48-36-4, 50-1/2"W x 36-1/4"H overall. Bollard 48-3/8" long. Base plate 8" x 8".
♦ HPRO-SS-36-42-4, 39-1/2"W x 41-1/4"H overall. Bollard 36-5/8" long. Base plate 8" x 8".
♦ HPRO-SS-48-42-4, 51-1/2"W x 41-1/4"H overall. Bollard 48-3/8" long. Base plate 8" x 8".

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Width: choose the 36-5/8" or 48-3/8" bollard length based on the equipment footprint you need to protect.
♦ Height: choose 36-1/4" for standard coverage or 41-1/4" for taller equipment or higher-risk strike zones.
♦ Sanitation needs: choose stainless steel over standard steel guards specifically for food, pharmaceutical, or washdown environments requiring NSF/ANSI 51-2009 compliance.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Food and Beverage Processing, NSF/ANSI 51- 2009-compliant guards suit sanitation-sensitive production areas.
♦ Pharmaceutical Facilities, corrosion-resistant stainless construction supports strict cleanliness standards.
♦ Washdown Environments: The polished stainless-steel finish withstands frequent cleaning and moisture exposure.
♦ Equipment, Racks, and Walls: guards absorb impact before it reaches protected assets in high-traffic zones.
